Hi all,
Are there any Webdevers? out there who managed to set up a
server with Webdev + PHP + MySQL and if so, are there any particular
subjects that need special attention.
Thanks for any reaction.

Grtz.,
Aad Gouka

Hi Aad,
If you are talking about "http://freedev.windev.free.fr", this is not my site.
My site is "http://www.windevpt.com", and has not been developed with WebDev.
I've seen Tutorial+Concepts, but I'm still learning WB, alone, step by step.

Best regards,
Artur Fuste

Hi Aad
Yes I decided some time ago to create php projects in WB rather than using pure WB which would require a dedicated server in order to install the WB engine. Setting up WB to work with php and mysql can certainly be a dog, depending on which route you choose
To make life easy, you are going to need versions of php, mysql and phpmyadmin that work together, and that your ISP is providing... that’s your first problem. The easiest way to get this onto your dev computer is to install the xaamp package from http://www.apachefriends.org/en/index.html. This is an easy install, but the problem with this install is that it puts the latest versions of all those products on your computer which your ISP probably doesn’t support, and then you have to figure out how to tell WB to use apache as the webserver instead of IIS and to know where the php engine is
The other route is to install the php which comes on the WB disc this will at least configure WB correctly to work with the php engine, but then you will have to obtain the appropriate version of mysql and phpmyadmin individually to work with php and somehow get them all to work together! And that can be a pain!
The biggest disappointment then follows. Even after you get all of this to work, you find out to your disdain that php projects are severely limited in what they can do. I can tell you now that most of the RAD models do not work, apart from the basic “Form with browse”. The very useful “Looper” when used in php does not come with a pager and so this makes it all but useless. If you create a table for display with Window RAD, it falls over with numerous errors saying that you can’t use tableadd, tabledelete etc commands in php!
My worst nightmare has now become a reality! I am now in talks with Pcsoft trying to convince them that there are problems…
If you really want to get this all up and running quickly without going through mega trauma skype me on “guyross” and I can talk u thru
HTH
